tablev slicer embodying the presentl inven-v Fig. 2 is a section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1'; and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the revolving slicing cylinder, y Y

Corresponding and-like parts are referred to in the following description fand designated in the accompanying drawing by like 4()A reference characters. y

Referringin detail to the drawing-5, designates a frame preferably constructed of metal and consisting ot a body portion '(3. having-a depending wall 7 and a feed hop- .per 8. `Thewall 7 is provided with 'parallel, lateral, integra-l arms 9, for engagementupon opposite sides of the edge of a table or other support,` in one of which a clamping screw 10-fi`s. threaded for engagement with the table whereby the' frame may be rigidlyl clamped in position.

The body portion v6 of the frame is provided in'its opposed walls with circular openings,- an'd within the same the cutting' cylindenisrevolubly mounted. One of the frame walls is provided with an annular aange 12 abovetand other objects in View` as will appear as the description proceedsV the invention consists in certain c'onstri'1c--l tions, combinations and arrangements ofi Specification of Letters luatent.

The other closed'` end of the cylinder is disposed 'in a plane-flush with -f the outer surface of the opposed' frame wall, "and said-.cylinder is retained in position in the body -of the frame for rotative movement. by means of the pivoteld plates 13 which are mounted upon said frame adjacent to the edge ofthe cylinder receiving sliced vegetable into a-dish or other suitl wie 'arranged beneath the'same.

The a is-provided with a plurality of longitudinal is bent outwardly and sharpened to form has its discharge end integrally formed with said cylinder. This concis adapted to direct the lcut material outwardly` from the and to one edge ofthe opening a door 18 1s hinged.
